The United for Life Foundation
“Open Your Heart.”
In 2004, Lee Bruno recognized the need for a more unified presence of charities and organizations. Many charities, he noticed, were trying to recreate what already existed, or many separate people attempting the same work at the same time in different places. Further, he noticed that there were many new and creative ways to reach people not being utilized. Bruno founded the United for Life Foundation, which makes charitable outreach more efficient by linking those doing similar charitable outreach (unification), instructing on how to more efficiently provide outreach (education), and providing funding and resources for organizations to maximize their outreach (empowerment).
The Foundation has a particular heart for new and creative ways to reach people, particularly through digital technology, media outreach, and through the arts.
